This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at the office of the Association, Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 15th day of July, 1943, in accordance with request made by the self - Mr. [3095], new Associate Member of the Ass'n for Research and Enlightenment, Inc., recommended by the book, THERE IS A RIVER.

Present: Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno.

TEXT

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them.
2. EC: Yes - these are very serious disturbances.
3. As we find with this body, [3095], these may be HELPED, some relief may be brought. A great deal depends upon the attitude of body, the consistency and persistency with which the applications are made for corrections.
4. For, this is a wasting away of nerve plasm in the body itself. While in the present the lower limbs are mostly affected, this will be progressive - unless some measures are taken.
5. There is a reaction in the digestion, or in the glands, that prevents the assimilation - from foods and properties taken - to supply the proper elements, to replenish nerve plasm itself.
6. This is a form of sclerosis, and thus the weakness in ankle, in limb, in hip, and through the limbs of the body, is first apparent.
7. We find that the organs of the body are not so much affected as yet, save in the poor eliminations that are natural from the inability of the activities of the body to cause or to keep normal peristaltic movements through the body.
8. Also, naturally, with such quiet activity, the kidneys give some disturbance. But these are normal results more of the activity than a diseased condition in those portions of the body.
9. Most of the assimilating of juices of the body are through the combination of elements of the secretions of the liver and spleen and pancreas, as well as the juices supplied through the acids and alkalines in those combinations in the stomach itself.
10. Thus the digestion takes place under what might be called the supervision of the organs of the central circulation.
11. Then, in making helpful forces for this body, there needs to be supplied those elements that may be so assimilated as to supply not only deficiencies but helpful forces for the body in its relationship to elimination, to the activity of the kidneys, to the correction of the functioning of the organs themselves, and supplying and eliminating those disturbances in the glandular forces of the body.
12. As we have indicated, this has already reached SERIOUS proportions. Thus it will require persistency and consistency in the activities of the body, mentally as well as in the physical applications.
13. These, as we find, should be applied:
14. Once a week, or once in ten days would be preferable, have an osteopathic relaxation. This does not mean that there are to be corrections attempted. This is to aid more the daily use of properties, which we will indicate to be given the body, in their distribution through the relaxing of the segments and the centers along the spine that aid in controlling circulation - both to the superficial and to the deep circulation. This should be a treatment not so much for adjustment as for a thorough, thorough relaxing, each and every segment, each and every muscular force of the body receiving special attention. Use the limbs or the structural portions as leverage to make muscular reaction. For, as the action is required, the properties that are carried into the system vibratorially (which we will indicate) will be used in the body.
15. Prepare the Wet Cell Appliance that would carry Gold. This should be with the regular strength charge in the beginning. After this has been used for eight or ten months, it may be necessary to increase the charge to twice the amount of each ingredient making the low electrical charge. Make the attachments each day as follows, for thirty minutes; preferably in the evening; when the body is prepared for rest:
16. The large nickel plate, through which the Gold Solution passes vibratorially (in the proportions of one grain Chloride of Gold to each ounce of distilled water, and use at least three ounces), would be attached to the umbilical and lacteal duct plexus, or - on this body - four fingers to the right from the umbilical center and three fingers up from that point, where this crosses. The small copper plate would be attached to the lower portion of the 9th dorsal center - or between the 9th and 10th dorsal.
17. Recharge the Appliance, - that is, renew the charging solution, - every thirty days. Change the Gold Solution every fifteen days.
18. Keep the attachments, - that is, the attachment plates, - very clean and polished, before and after using. Take the connections out of the solution when not in use, and wipe them clean and dry. Put them back in the solution, or make the connections to the Appliance, at least twenty minutes before it is to be attached to the body. Use it daily for thirty minutes, in the manner indicated.
19. Also we would prepare a Gold Solution to be taken internally, but only once each week, and with Baking Soda. Prepare the two solutions in this manner, and keep separate until the dosage is to be taken:
20. The Gold Solution would be one grain Chloride of Gold to one ounce of distilled water (but have a separate solution from that used in the Appliance, of course. Do not take internally that solution prepared for use in the Appliance). Keep this separate.
21. The Soda Solution would be one-half ounce of Baking Soda (not that of any other character) in two ounces of distilled water, thoroughly dissolved. Keep this separate.
22. Once each week - not oftener - say on Tuesdays - put one drop of the Gold Solution (using a dropper) and two drops of the Soda Solution in half a glass of water and take, after it is shaken well, or stirred together.
23. In the diet, - have plenty of seafoods, two or three times a week. Vary these, but seafoods of every description. No great quantities of other meats, save occasionally fowl, or squab, or squirrel, or rabbit, or some other meat of that nature or character.
24. Have plenty of leafy vegetables.
25. No great quantities of grease should be taken at any time. Season the vegetables with butter, and it would be better if they are all cooked in Patapar Paper - so that their salts and juices are mixed with them and not left in the water in which they would ordinarily be cooked. Just cook them in Patapar Paper, without water, and season with butter.
26. Use enemas rather than cathartics, in keeping good eliminations. Do have a good elimination each day.
27. Do these and we SHOULD bring better conditions for this body.
28. Be persistent, be consistent, be prayerful, be expectant. Don't do any of these to be hurried through.
29. Ready for questions.
30. We are through for the present.

    Two copies to Self (one for the osteopath)
    Copy to Ass'n file
    (7/15/43 GD's notes: Unless you already have a good osteopath who will follow these suggestions, we'd refer you to Dr. George N. Coulter, ..., New York City, who has had experience with following suggestions made through Mr. Cayce.
    See article [which was enclosed] explaining theory of the Wet Cell Appliance.)

BACKGROUND

1. 6/02/43 Letter: "My problem, briefly, is one of leg function and walking balance. I have had it a good many years. Blood pressure and blood count are normal, but circulation from the hips down is poor, and the muscles do not do their duty when I stand or walk. The condition is not constant; some days I get about better than others, and the drain on my nervous energy is naturally continuous."
2. Questions submitted to be asked in reading:
   1. How may I bring about proper leg function and walking balance? 2. Why do the muscles fail to do their duty when I stand or walk? 3. How may circulation from hips down be stimulated? 4. How may the drain on my nervous energy be eliminated?
